If you have a news reader, such as Agent, which I see you don't, you
can create a filter that will allow you to "killfile" either posters
or topics that you don't want to have in your news or e-mail.

You make a filter, and from then on, your chosen 'bad guys' or topics
are banned for as long as you want them to be.

A routine in your newreader that allows you to filter out posters you don't
want to hear from. In Outlook Express it's called "Block Sender". It works
to keep the signal to noise ratio nice and high.

If you open this (or any) email with Outlook Express.

Highlight the sender then right click on your mouse.

Your choices will be:

add sender to address book
Find
Block sender (Killfile)
--------
copy
---------
Properties.

select block sender.

Works until someone replies and includes the original post.

Yes, that's the downside, unless you avoid the thread altogether.

I notice you haven't responded to any of us who answered your
question. Were you testing us, or what?
